Euro truck simulator 2 forums12/2/2023 ![]() I've set my braking sensitivity to half of what it was originally because I feel it gives the truck weight. I absolutely hated having it and even though Ogami explained the system a bit to me, I find it horribly unrealistic. Like Shilka I'm trying the game on as close to full real as I can except I've disabled the fatigue simulation. ![]() I really want to drive the Scania more because I think it's the best truck in the game to improve your skills on overall. I've also been slowly upgrading the fleet which doesn't help the drivers much but will be handy as I intend to switch between trucks until I get used to all of them. Once leveled they'll be moved to the lead position in a new garage as I intend to buy a minimum of three more garages in the next 50 hours of gameplay. The only overlap is ADR and of course Distance everyone else specializes in something different be it Just in Time, Fragile, and/or High Value. I have 4 drivers which bring in just under $11,000 and am leveling them up on staggered traits. I can say it has some of the nicest styling in the game and it's engine sound is amazing but the horn, OMFG is it ever sh1t laughably. ![]() I did purchase an Iveco Stralis "Truck of the Year" Edition but gave it to one of my drivers because the driver/passenger windows are just too small to see anything beyond 90°. I've tried all the trucks and settled on the Man simply because it's somewhere in the middle. It doesn't lean nor is it susceptible to fishtailing/under-steer/over-steer like some of the other trucks in the game, Scania by comparison is the complete opposite. Like Ogami I LOVE the Volvo but found it gave me some rather reckless driving habits as I believe it to be the most stable truck in the game. Driving the truck now is almost unrecognizable as I have much more torque and on the freeway there isn't much that can pass me unless I let it. I just hit Level 20 last night and to celebrate upgraded my Man Truck's Power Plant to the 680 hp beast. Using indicators properly, using jakebrake, I park and hook up manually and by using mirrors (no outside cam, only for screenshots), and set my lights, flashing lights and extra lights appropriate to the situation. ) I've got the realism mod installed (its great), since I got my updated interior at level 12 I'm not using the seperate route screen anymore, and I'm using my hat switch to look left/right and at my real mirrors. I tried making my settings as realistic as possible, Manual shift (auto clutch as I dont own a clutch pedal), real air brakes, manual start and I decreased my break power as I thought on standard settings you could brake on a dime, which I found not entirely realistic (eventhough modern trucks have the same breaking distance as regular cars, even fully loaded. (Yet I spent around 200K on upgrades already ) I'm probably going to earn money so I can upgrade/hire without taking a loan, I guess I hate debts. I havent bought/upgraded any garages yet, not hired drivers yet. Still on my first own truck, which had a few upgrade rounds. I also tried it by running the executable in the game's folder X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator\bin\win_圆4, but that wouldn't work either (I would create a shortcut to specify the startup argument as VR mode wouldn't work without it).I'm taking things slow. Problem: Reshade icon doesn't show amongst widgets in the SteamVR overlay and neither it is possible to use it in the preview window - when you switch to VR view, the desktop preview pretty much freezes. there is not even a support for VR controllers after the game is launched, one has to click F10 to switch to VR view (this is required only once, the game will remember it going forward) VR also requires adding a startup argument in Steam - whether -openvr or - oculus VR version is installed through Beta versions in Steam they don't have VR versions of the game These two games are little "special" and the VR mode is little finicky: Reshade doesn't show up in SteamVR overlay (I tested it on another VR game and it works just fine there). I have installed ReShade 5.1 for ATS and I believe there is a problem with the compatibility.
